That actually made me chuckle

Don’t forget the classic Facebook selling posts.

My wife’s boyfriend wants to take me out for my birthday they missed last week. I think he’s taking me to Arby’s, so I’ve gotta offload to help cover that.

I’ve never seen these in the wild and I don’t know what half of them mean.

Do people really use the term gapless to refer to a 1999-2000 copyright card?

[Taigataipan]

@Dyl

This term was born in following topic, haven’t seen other people using it since then.

Base Set - 1st Ed. To Gapless(4th Print) Growth Report

Hello and Welcome to the Base Set Holo PGR (Population Growth Report) Thread. This thread is a Weekly Updated Thread covering all 4 Variants(1st Ed, Shadowless, Unlimited and Gapless) of Base Sets Population Growth Updated every Tuesday. This report is slightly different from looking at today’s PSA Population Report because it tracks/records Base Set Holos Populations over time. By doing so we can see the growth of these cards. Anyone is free to share/copy info shared here. *******************…

raffles

How has this not been banned outright as gambling?

---

I don’t think these were mentioned:
“grail”
“unicorn”
“Gen Wunner”
“EX” verses “ex” verses “ex (excellent)”
“JP”
“nippon”
_{The last 2 are a bit obvious, but perhaps not.}

[wisewailmer]

Raffles are banned on most social media sites due to not being able to guarantee participants are of legal age. Nobody calls them raffles though

They just say razz, mini, micro, Rowlet, waffle etc etc to avoid the flag. I don’t exactly know why those don’t get pulled down though because it’s the same thing

@wisewailmer

Rowlet

They are disgracing one of my favorite Pokemon?

[c0ll3ct0r]

Apparently, raffle “events” are also a thing. Almost like a well-rounded evenings entertainment where the old church ladies buy a few $1 numbered paddles to win a fruit basket or a toy fire truck for the grandchildren.
